Chapter 175 Taking Advantage of Akiyama Mio
"Ritsu, isn't it a bit late at this hour?" After leaving the karaoke bar, Akiyama looked at the dark sky and asked with concern.
"It's getting a bit late, I'm too tipsy." Ritsu Tainaka scratched his head.
"Rei-chan, is there a curfew at your house?" Hirasawa Yui asked.
"That's not...it's just..." Akiyama Rei hesitated, his face showing embarrassment.
"Haha~ Zero is just afraid of the dark, it's okay, I'll accompany you home~" Ritsu Tainaka hugged Akiyama and comforted him with a smile.
"Um... I, I'm not afraid of the dark!" Akiyama retorted, blushing.
"Haha~ So you're afraid of the dark, huh? Well, is everything alright at your place?" Hirasawa Yui smiled knowingly and asked Kotobuki.
"No problem! On the contrary, I'm very happy to be able to come home this late! It's my first time~" Kotobuki said excitedly.
"You're still the same as ever." Ritsu Tainaka looked at her and shook his head helplessly.
The young lady just wants to experience everything.
"What about Azusa? Are you alright?" Hirasawa Yui asked Nakano Azusa with concern.
"I'm perfectly fine." Nakano Azusa shook her head indifferently.
"Oh, then it's alright." Ritsu Tainaka smiled with relief.
"Let's go back early, it's getting late, and we have class tomorrow," Akiyama Rei couldn't help but suggest.
"That's true. It'll be late when we get home, so let's go back then." Ritsu Tainaka nodded in agreement.
"Then we'll come again next time, go back...? What's that?"
Just as Hirasawa Yui turned to lead the way away, she noticed a figure shrouded in black mist approaching them not far ahead.
It's eerie and chilling to look at.
"What is that?"
"It feels so scary..."
"Is it... getting closer to us?"
"I have a bad feeling..."
The five people were unaware of the seriousness of the problem, and they watched the approaching black mist figures with a mixture of wariness and curiosity.
The black-clad figures stopped when they were about ten meters away from them.
"It's stopped?"
"What kind of special effects are those?"
"Let's hurry up and go."
"It raised its hand, what is that?!"
The man in black mist raised his hand, and strange black light gathered in his palm, condensing into a sphere.
The next second, without any warning, the black ball shot towards the five people.
The five people had no time to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the black ball approached, bewildered and confused.
-one!
Just then, a beam of white light descended from the sky, splitting the black sphere in two.
Bang!
The black sphere did not dissipate; instead, it exploded, creating a whirlwind that shook the surroundings, sending debris flying and scattering in all directions.
The surrounding signs were pierced, the glass was shattered, and there was chaos.
The five people were startled and huddled together, screaming in panic.
"Run!" Xia Sheng shouted to the five men.
"Huh?"
Ritsu Tainaka was the first to notice Natsumi, who had appeared before them at some unknown time, and stared at him blankly.
"Run! This guy's target is you!" Xia Sheng shouted again.
"Run...run! We have to run!"
Although Ritsu Tainaka didn't understand what was going on, she had seen how terrifying it was when she arrived.
She reminded Hirasawa Yui and the others, then pulled them and ran in the opposite direction.
However, one person took a step and suddenly fell to the ground.
"It hurts..." Akiyama lay on his side on the ground, his brows furrowed, and he curled up, clutching his foot.
She twisted her ankle.
I was too nervous and too scared, my legs went weak and I couldn't run.
"zero!"
Xia Sheng stared intently at the black-mist figure who raised his hand, preparing to release the black ball again, while glancing warily at the chaotic and confused crowd inside the house.
This is not a place to linger.
He raised his hand, magic gathered, and he released a wind blade.
A green wind blade quickly formed, slaying the black-mist man, who then turned and ran.
The black-mist figure simultaneously launched the condensed black sphere to block the wind blades.
The two collided, remained locked in a stalemate, their magical energy surged, and finally exploded.
Boom!
This explosion was even louder than the last one; the air itself seemed to vibrate.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Natsumi picked up Akiyama Rei and ran towards Tainaka Ritsu and the others who had stopped.
"Run!"
"yes!"
Without hesitation, the four of them followed him immediately.
The black-clad figure remained rooted to the spot, his crimson eyes fixed on the retreating figures of Xia Sheng and his companions, his expression calm and unwavering.
After Xia Sheng and the others disappeared, its body gradually became transparent and vanished from the spot.
Natsumi led Tainaka Ritsu and the others all the way to a small grove of trees far from the city before they stopped.
"Phew—so tired—"
Ritsu Tainaka and the others were too exhausted to run any further. The four of them leaned against the tree trunk, hunched over, and gasped for breath.
Xia Sheng was completely unharmed. He looked warily in the direction from which the runner had come, his brows furrowed, and he was filled with doubt.
The alarm bells inside him had stopped ringing.
Has the crisis been resolved?
Didn't they come along?
Or is it still outside the range of danger perception?
that..
Just as Xia Sheng was pondering, the girl in his arms spoke.
"What's wrong?" Xia Sheng snapped out of his daze and looked down at her.
The grove was dark, but with his eyesight, he could see the girl's face clearly.
Her delicate skin was flawless, smooth, fair, and delicate, with a slight blush on her cheeks, revealing a hint of shyness.
"Hands..." Akiyama Rei whispered, head down, biting her lip.
"Um?"
Xia Sheng then realized that his left hand had passed under her armpit, through her chest cavity, and completely covered her heart.
The palm feels soft.
In his haste, he inadvertently gained an advantage.
"Sorry, sorry." Xia Sheng immediately removed his hand and put her down.
"N-nothing..." Akiyama remained standing there, head bowed, looking uneasy.
Xia Sheng noticed that her ears were completely red, as if they were dripping blood.
That was really an accident.
He really didn't mean it. After all, the princess carry position is what it is, and she is petite. In the heat of the moment, he didn't judge the distance well.
To be fair, it's quite substantial, similar to Shiina Mahiru.
"Zero, what's wrong?" At this moment, Ritsu Tainaka had almost recovered, and she came to Akiyama's side and asked with concern.
"It's nothing..." Akiyama quickly shook his head.
"Didn't you just twist your ankle?"
P...::. It was just a slight twist, it's almost healed already.
.
As Akiyama spoke, he even stretched a bit.
"That's good..." Ritsu Tainaka breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Natsumi with a puzzled expression.
"Um... what just happened?"
Her question drew the attention of everyone else, who all looked at Xia Sheng with curiosity and confusion.
What just happened was completely beyond their comprehension, even defying common sense; it was too surreal.
They've only ever been seen in animation.
However, that incredible situation truly unfolded before our eyes.
It's hard not to believe it.
"That... is a monster that invaded the world," Xia Sheng replied directly without hiding anything.
"Invading monsters...?" Ritsu Tainaka didn't quite understand.
"You might not believe it, but this world is not as simple as you think; it hides many unknown things."
"Xia Sheng said seriously.
"No...it's not that we don't believe..."
"After all, we saw it with our own eyes."
"I thought we were filming a movie."
"Me too....
"Then, who are you?" Ritsu Tainaka looked at Natsumi curiously.
"Me? You can treat me as a savior." Xia Sheng smiled slightly.
"A savior? How cool!"
"It's just like something out of a comic book!"
"What was that just now? Magic?"
"Almost..." Xia Sheng looked at the excited group, his expression indescribable.
They've already dismissed it so quickly, as if nothing had happened.
That's incredibly carefree!
However, based on Xia Sheng's understanding of them, this was indeed the right way for them to react.
The five of them were so pure.
"that.
Akiyama, who had been keeping his head down and silent, suddenly looked up and stared at Natsumi with a serious and nervous expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Could you tell me... your name?"
"My name is Xia Sheng."
"summer.....
"Hello, Natsumi-kun~ My name is Tainaka Ritsu." Tainaka Ritsu introduced himself, and the others followed suit.
"My name is Hirasawa Yui."
"My name is Kotobuki."
"My name is Nakano Azusa."
"I...I'm called...Akiyama."
